LYRICS:
I'm popeye the Sailor Man 
I'm popeye the Sailor Man 
I'm strong to the Finich 
Cuz I eat me spinach 
I'm popeye the Sailor Man. 
I'm one tough gazookus 
Which hates all Palookas 
Wot ain't on the up and square 
I biffs 'em and buffs em 
An' always out-roughs em 
an' none of 'em gits no-where. 
If anyone dasses to risk 
My "Fisk" it's "Boff" an' 
It's "Wham" un understans? 
So, keep "Good Behavor" 
That's your one life saver 
With Popeye the Sailor Man


OK, that's the whole song basically. The solo is not easy to play it exactly but if you practice, you'll get it.
It did take me a while to tab this song, so at LEAST rate it, plz. :)
Any comments, suggestions, threats, insults or whatever, feel more than free to email me, ***ers.
